<p>At any time on or after July 1, 2009, were you an unaccompanied homeless youth as determined by your high school or school district homeless liaison?</p>
<p>At any time on or after July 1, 2009, were you an unaccompanied homeless youth as determined by the director of an emergency shelter program funded by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development?</p>
<p>At any time on or after July 1, 2009, were you at risk of homelessness as determined by the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program?</p>
<p>I would be living on campus; however, during xmas breaks and summers, I will have nowhere to go. At least, my parents will not be able to provide me with one.</p>
<p>If your parents aren’t homeless, then you can live at their homes during those times. Your parents aren’t required to provide **additional **off-campus housing during summers and breaks. If that were the case, most kids would be “homeless.”</p>
<p>I think they are asking about homelessness after July '09 up until now. They are trying to determine your eligibility for scholarships and if you have support from your parents. Most students are required to give information about their parents incomes, savings, etc. But if you can establish that you have been homeless at any time after the date given and have no support from your parents, you are eligible for much higher assistance. Good luck!</p>
<p>His parents are not required to supply a place to live after he is 18. If he can establish that his parents either are not able or refuse to support him in any way, including providing a place to live when not in school, then he may be eligible for more aid.</p>
<p>If I am able to establish that my parents will be unable/will refuse to support me with shelter, then I can fulfill the homeless requirement.</p>
<p>Are you sure?</p>
<p>These are the 2 possible scenarios:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>My parents sell the house and move back to their home countries, leaving me with no means of contacting them.</p></li>
<li><p>My parents keep the house until my sister graduates from high school (at the end of my sophomore year of college), but they will refuse to allow me to stay in the house. Literally “get the **** out of here before we call the cops.”</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Hopefully Swimcatsmom or Sybbie can weigh in on this. </p>
<p>If all it takes is parents telling their kids that they can’t live in their home during breaks for the kids to get independent status, then a whole bunch of kids will be able to make such a claim.</p>
<p>One of the key words is “youth” – at a certain age you stop being able to be an UHY, because you’re not a youth. The other issue is that you will be subject to verification. Here’s an example of a verification form: </p>
